A fly can’t bird but a bird can fly

So much is going on right now it is hard to keep my head straight! Two weekends ago I went up to Lake Tahoe with a group of 12 other co-workers. It snowed like nothing else and was beautiful. since I have been saving money for Paris, Urian and I decided to hit the casinos instead of snowboarding. This proved to be a good idea as I only lost $35 bukeroos! The house we stayed at was cozy and nice. The hot tub was a bit cold but that didn’t stop us. And what Tahoe trip would be complete without a visit to the Red HUt Waffle Shop? Brown came with me and got an eggbeater omelette…at a waffle house!

Last weekend, Ronnie and I got word that 3 other people were interested in the pup we were leaning towards, and since we had pick of the litter, we had to decide then. We could not decide based on a picture so on a whim, we drove down to Bakersfield. Now those of you who know me know just how much I hate this scum hole. It has the smog of LA and the trash of Fresno. GROSS! We checked in to the Doubletree then went and met the pups. It was so hard to choose from these little piles of blubber, but the one that walked over to us and stayed with us the most was the one we choose. See pictures below. On the way back to the hotel we stopped by Buck Owen’s Silver Palace but got too frightened of all the fake cowboy dummies in the patios. Buck was supposed to perform that night at a whopping 7:30pm, which was too late for us…yeah right! We decided to take a trip to Boot World instead. We tried on some cowboy hats then when back to the hotel. I love the suburbs for beer. We each got a pint and buffalo wings for $11.50! Holy Gosh! We then went back to the room to clean up, but decided it wuld be more fun to drink the cheap free wine we got with the “romance package,” and order room service. We also watched Fantastic Four which was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. 2 out of 10. It was just trerrible. The next day we pretended to be regualrs by going to Costco, Best Buy, Target and of course PetCo to by some pup stuff. After a couple hours there we were ready to head home.

AND! Tomorrow I head off to Paris. I haven’t been over the pond in almost 2 years when I last went to Japan. Kirsten and I are so excited…we can’t believe it is finally here. I checked the weather and we are going to get snow for about 6 days….oh well…winter wonderland! I will miss Ronnie an aweful lot..but when I get home from my 10 day trip, we have concerts to go to…a house warming party, a trip to Arizona and then full circle back down to Bakersfield to pick up our pup. What MAGIC this time in my life is!
